I'm wondering if there's a way to script "undocking" windows that have
been minimized to the right side of the dock.

The recommended way for an application to support this is to have a "minimized" property on its windows -- set it to true to minimize a window, and false to unminimize it. All Cocoa applications have this property, but they call it "miniaturized" instead. For example:

tell application "TextEdit"
set miniaturized of every window to true -- minimize all the
windows.
set miniaturized of every window to false -- bring 'em all back.
end

Thanks for the help.

I was looking for a way to dock and undock the iTunes main window with a QuicKeys/AppleScript hot key shortcut. iTunes supports "minimized" but not "miniaturized". "Minimized" produces a small iTunes control panel rather than docking the window. I found that iTunes supports a "collapsed" property which will dock and undock a window.

It sure would be nice if the terminology were standardized!
